I think it is ok to have a meeting. It gets some media time. The big problem is the GOP does not then jab the kenyan for no budget, no senate budget, never meeting with the GOP, etc., once you get the camera time. That is the real problem. No energy or fight in the beltway GOP.

The Dems would have been all over Bush 24/7 had he been constantly late with his budgets in a terrible economy. That is a huge part of why they win and the GOP has been losing.

I agree with you. Obozo, the clown of all US presidents, could have called about any Rep Senator, and that Senator would have arranged a lousy dinner meeting. If not-Obozo would have insisted his slave boy press secretary hold a highly visible press meeting of the loyal progressive party’s MSM. propagandists to destroy the man and party.

I had the same “Last Supper” thought in my mind...The arrogance of Zero thinking of himself as a messiah and his 12 followers...I can visualize the photo op oil painted rendition with Zero and his glowing halo...the next cover of ‘Time’...

Pathetic. It really IS all a big game to them, being the Good Ole Boys of DC (think there's a song in that phrase - Toby Keith/Trace Adkins take note).

As the RINO McCain said, "We have nothing to fear of a Barack Obama presidency", during his presidential campaign no less. And now Jeb Bush gearing up? Pfft. We're toast. Still, my tagline stands and all it implies. Send this Constitution loving old fart on point.

The controllers had dinner together last night - the others were filibustering. "Republican" has never really been synonymous with "liberty", but in the past the GOP at least had somewhat greater respect for traditions and the Constitution than the Democrats did. That's gone now, and the old labels no longer work as shortcuts for critical thinkers.

RE :”juan and lynsee being tools for the one winged gubmint ??? say it aint so...just when i thought i couldnt despise these two *self censored*bags, they open their glory holes and surprise me again...”

They (and Obama) is keepin you safe Paul-nut. If the gubment says you is a terrorist then if you love this country you will be happy to be sacrificed for it, drones away....

Man, I remember a few years back (under GWB) when talk radios was saying stuff like that rather than this liberty stuff (under Obama)

(Losing to Dems and Obama is not a principle! Its just losing.)

OK, so I read that Tunny showed up and spoke at the filibuster, as well as Ron Johnson, What about the rest of these “Dinner at Eight” politicians? Did any of them show up at the filibuster? Did McCain know in advance about Rand Paul’s plans to filibuster?

Absolutely breathtaking how quickly these pseudo-conservative politicians turn their back on the people who elected them. The fact that Ayotte and Toomey are already drinking the RINO kool-aid is demoralizing. Both of these Senators had excellent conservative credentials. Even though the Tea Party backed a different candidate in Ayotte’s primary, she was backed by Sarah Palin who called her a “true conservative”. Her margin of victory makes it clear that she had tremendous support from the Tea Party and other small-c conservatives in the general election. Same goes for Toomey. But they’re both now kowtowing to the GOP Senate old guard and being idiot GOP props for Obama, similar to Chris Christie. Conservatives work so hard to elect someone that they believe is a genuine conservative and it seems like in at least half of those cases the people they supported immediately betray the trust.

Or are we seeing the Republican party split in two?... which is what the President wants.

Zero is right for the wrong reason. This is a positive development.

Freepers know that this battle has been going on for years. But not everyone knows that. Paul brought the battle out into the open.

The Tea Party gained credibility, even from the Left, and the credibility of the old guard was diminished. This will bring more people over to our side. We can elect more Tea Party candidates, and fewer Rovebots.

It was an educational outing. By smoozing with the President, those present can experience him up close. They can feel and absorb the mendacity that oozes from his every pore. Than parry the threats he certainly made.

“...Guess Lindsey wanted to kiss and make up. He always had a thing for tall dark men....”
There may be more truth to that statement than you realize. Both of them go to extremes to hide their “gayness”. I dunno why they just don’t “come out” and admit they’re lovers.

(It's easy to be liberal when you're dumber than a box of rocks.)

Why doesn't Goober (Gramnesty) stop the charade and register as a liberal democrat and get it over with. Nothing he has done moves this government closer to the limitations placed on it in the Constitution, he always opposes the true conservatives in the Senate and works liberal socialist deals behind closed doors until the crap sandwich is exposed tot he public in a proposed bill!
